Rose choice

Hi to all,
As always looking for a bit of advice. Want to plant some climbing roses along the back and some low growing bush roses along the front. Site exposed. Like red and other vivid bright colours, any suggestions.

Many thanks

I have Rosa Dublin Bay which is a lovely deep red growing on a SW facing wall. It's doing very well, despite some black spot.

Just googled that one, looks like a runner, of course I forgot the aspect, west facing.

Thanks

That might not matter too much.

Yep I have Dublin Bay it flowers up to Christmas. You can buy roses bare rooted in many garden centres in October /November at a fraction of the price. Carpet roses such as "fairy " are a good low growing one

Two great choices there, looks like the problem is solved, Well maybe not, with all the rain that fell since last nite, seem to have a liittle bit of a water logging problem with the bed. HMMMMMMMM
